Waiter seemed taken aback that I had asked if they could explain the menu. They sarcastically stated, what do you have questions on…the whole menu! I guess when 20% tip is baked in, you dial in. Two main courses came out together leaving the other two diners waiting. Waiter seemed more interested in serving the table or guys in front of us that came in after us…I get it, they were popping bottles (of overpriced sparkling wine). Oh, and at one point we were being rushed by I’m assuming the floor manager? Tacky.

It’s a very nice restaurant but I feel like it was lacking. I was looking forward to eating here for some time, but everything we ordered was just okay. Nothing blew my mind or tasted amazing. For the price point I expected more flavor or authenticity. The Lomo Saltado was super salty and the ceviche was missing flavor. The chicken thigh and Salmon Belly skewers were the best cooked items, but again, the sauces for them both were missing something to put it over the top. We don’t drink, but the all the cocktails sounded amazing from what I read. Overall disappointed, but glad I went. It’s a nice restaurant with great customer service when you arrive, then it’s okay.

Causa/Amazonia is always an outstanding dining experience. My fiance and I go fairly often, and continue to try different dishes. The ceviche is next level. They have multiple options of fresh fish presentations, where you can select the fish and choose between ceviche and other flavorful cooked preparations. It's not cheap, but this is a Michelin rated restaurant. Ambiance is incredible always, as well!
